POPULAR South Australian reinsman Wayne Hill has enjoyed a highly-successful weekend.

In what has been his best season, Hill registered five wins across two meetings.

Beginning with a double at Mildura on Friday evening, Hill completed a treble at Port Pirie Saturday night.

“That 24 hours was one of those periods when things just seem to go right,” Hill said. “They don’t come along often, so it is good when they do.”

As part of his regular trip across the border, Hill scored with Carmy Dan and Our Amazing Grace to extend his lead in the club’s Drivers’ Premiership.

“Mildura has been a good extension to my schedule,” Hill said. “Having that extra racing option is great and no doubt a lot more South Australians will start heading there.

“There are already quite a few going to each meeting and I’m tipping it will increase.

“This time Kaela Hryhorec and Scott Ewen also drove winners, while Kerry Brown, Aaron Brown and Justin Brewin were among the winning trainers.

Hill then led all-comers at his home track when triumphant with Supernova Silvia, Floyd Mayweather and Alldaybliss.

“I went to Port Pirie with what I felt was a steady book of drives, so to come home with a few wins was great,” Hill said.
